What are these three sets of sandal prints doing here? The time is just after the crucifixion of Christ in Jerusalem. The center sandal prints and the marks of a shepherd's staff are those of the "Stranger" sharing the Messianic prophecies about Yeshua from the scriptures with Cleopas and an unnamed disciple. The place is the road to Emmaus, in sight of the steep sided Mount of Olives where I was once taken (hair-raisingly) to the top in a
jeep set in low drive so that we would be able to make it up. Imagine the scene, as two very discouraged disciples listen to the stranger's wonderful review of
God's prophetic, written promises regarding the Messiah, their hearts "burning" within them as their all-but-dead faith in Christ is rekindled by Messianic prophecies that clearly point to Jesus Christ.

THE EMMAUS WALK:

A Messianic School of the Bible

AN OPEN DOOR TO THE BIBLE AND UNDERSTANDING IT

WORLD'S GREATEST BOOK CAN BE UNDERSTOOD IF GIVEN A CHANCE: Beyond question, the greatest book in the world is the Bible, and the greatest Book is about the greatest Person, Jesus Christ (Yeshua the
Anointed).

Friend, are you unable to read the Bible, that is, make sense of it? Or do some parts make sense, but others, such as Leviticus or Revelation or Romans seem totally bewildering? Are you desiring to go deeper, or reach a higher ground, spiritually, but your difficulty in comprehending scripture is holding you back? It may well be you need to consider that the Bible is essentially Messianic--that is, it exists to tell you about the Messiah and Savior, and virtually everything in the Bible points to Him. With this understanding, you are on your way to unlocking the scriptures and opening the door to Yeshua--for they are, in truth, a living Person, Jesus (Yeshua), who delights in His Name, the Word (John 1:1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

You are most welcome to review the list of the Bible books now. This is vital. In this era, when in the general population and even among Christians there is so little remaining knowledge of the Bible (the knowledge of the Bible has plunged, not "declined"), it can no longer be taken for granted that everyone knows what the Books of the Bible are (most people probably think the Bible is just one book--and the actual books are just "chapters," which is completely mistaken, for each book is unique unto itself, whereas chapters of a book all fit within the same context and carry the same theme, something the Bible books certainly do, but with a much greater purpose and depth than normal chapters are usually intended to convey. To explain this a bit more:
No one would publish a book ordinarily, unless it is a survey of literature, with a different author for each chapter--isn't that true? But this is the case with the Bible--most of the books have different authors. But you can also find one author writing more than one book (Moses wrote Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy--the first five books of the Bible. Paul wrote quite a number, and so did John write more than one book. Some can be attributed to no specific author, such as Hebrews, Chronicles I and II, Judges, and so on, though Samuel is thought to be the author of books other than I and II Samuel. This is a interesting topic, you can explore it yourself in your own time! Eerdmans's "New Bible Commentary Revised" is the one I use to learn about the Bible's multiple authors, but there are others which are probably as good or perhaps better.

The history and discovery of the Essene Scrolls is so important for our Christian faith and their role in Christian apologetics is so foundational that we have a whole page devoted to them, and we will be adding new material from time to time:

THE MESSIANIC BIBLE TEXTS--WHAT ARE THEY?

The Bible's Messianic Texts are thus named because they are passages in scripture that point specifically to the Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus in Gentile terminology). Foremost in consideration of these texts, Christ Himself chose it when conducting an informal Bible class with two distraught and troubled disciples who had left Jerusalem just after the crucifixion and were on their way to Emmaus, a village seven miles from the Holy City. This spiritual trek inspired the logo graphic at the top of our home page, and in Judaea in the time of Jesus (see the map) Emmaus is near the bottom, located close by Jerusalem.

IS JESUS WALKING BESIDE YOU? HAVE YOU EVER MET GOD?

AS A CLEAR REBUTTAL TO THE SECULAR HUMANISTS RULING AS OPPRESSORS OVER A ONCE FREE AND PROGRESSIVE AMERICA, WHO DENY THE SUPER-ABUNDANT CHRISTIAN HERITAGE WE HAVE AND THE FACT AMERICA WAS FOUNDED AS A CHRISTIAN NATION. THIS FOLLOWING IS AN ACTUAL ACT OF CONGRESS THAT ESTABLISHED THIS RESOLUTION, WHICH COULD NOT BE MORE DAMAGING TO THEIR TISSUE OF LIES MAINTAINING THAT AMERICA IS A GODLESS NATION FOUNDED ON SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE: America, the World's Most Powerful Nation Declares the Bible to be the Word of God! This was America's perhaps last affirmation of its Judaeo-Christian heritage and foundation. We ought to have it pinned on our walls at home and in our offices and work places and even in ACLU war rooms--reminding us all of the fact.

AMERICA'S RE-EDUCATION CENTER:

America has experienced by God's mercy and divine intervention two Great Spiritual Awakenings of the Christian churches in the first and second century of its existence, and we are sorely needing a Third Great Awakening of the Christian
faith in the hearts and lives of the people in the churches. This can only be brought about by prayer, as was evidenced in the incident of the two sisters who prayed daily for repentance and revival among the wayward young people of their tiny island in the Pacific, part of the New Hebrides island group. Their prayers were answered. The young people, gathered at a local dance and "whooping it up" with their bad example of a teacher, were so convicted, they left the dance hall and returned to the church and to God, surrendering their lives to Christ. We need the same kind of revival here in America, if we are to be saved from destruction and total social and moral collapse. But it will take praying saints, faithful unto death, like the two little old sisters praying in the tiny kitchen of their little farmhouse on a far, Pacific island. It probably looked hopeless to them (and certainly it would look hopeless to us too!)--but God...

This is our coming fate, Americans, if we do not repent and turn back to God--a nuclear meltdown with dirty bombs set off by Islamic Jehad terrorists (Hamas, or Hezbollah sleeper cell operatives) in our major cities across the country, SIMULTANEOUSLY! The ridiculously lavish sets of Maurice Cerullo's TV program, targeting the instant-gratification, entitlement-generation with its hip hop music tastes and gang rapsta CD collections at home along with the porn videos, will not make the slightest dent in America's warped, shallow consciences. Only the Spirit of God can break through the mile-thick foreskins over the hardened hearts of America! You may not like this biblical language--but the Bible tells it like it is! Want to escape judgment and destruction? Really, do you? Most Americans could not care less. They cuss at Christianity, give the finger to evangelists, and laugh the warnings off--it'll never happen to THEM, these silly fools think. But so they thought in Sodom and Gomorrah, right up to the moment when all hell broke loose on their heads. Are we any different in American post-modern society today? Billy Graham has preached to us for over fifty years--and we still haven't repented.

Pat Robertson's 700 Club broadcast has just aired a wonderful feature on the Second Great Awakening, how it started with a praying professor at Yale of all places, who was greatly disturbed by the low state of the students at Yale, and how it spread across New England and westward with the pioneers to all that vast area of the westward expansion of the country. You can access this program by going to the CBN site, and be sure to do so if you missed the program! It was really excellent, giving you wonderful details and pictures of the people involved in the Second Great Awakening started in 1800 by the praying professor at Yale.

Pat Robertson also asks Americans to get involved in "Reclaiming the Covenant." The 400th year celebration of the the founding of this covenanted nation (the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock covenanted with God in 1607 concerning this new nation and its mission to spread the Gospel) is coming up, and this is a way to sign on (without needing to be a 700 Club member) this list of all those who support reclaiming our covenant with God as a nation and turning back to God as a nation and a people. The names will go on a document that will
be put in a Cross memorial on the CBN center. You will also receive literature about the "Reclaiming the Covenant" program. How about doing something to help save your country? It is the only country you have. Why let it destroy itself without lifting a hand to help save it? We will be actually saving our own lives, our loved ones, and neighbors--as the whole country will either be saved, or the whole country will be destroyed. We won't be able to go on with our lives as before after yet another disaster. This nuclear-meltdown will engulf us all, to the last man, woman, and child!

What is the urgency to praying for America's churches to be revived? Pastor Hagee of Cornerstone Church, San Antonio, has reported on
national and international television that informed sources (and he has been briefed by such as former Prime Minister of Israel,
Netanyahu, and others in Israel who are his long-term friends): America's premier cities have cell groups waiting to detonate nuclear suitcase bombs. Among the cities are New York City, Miami, Houston, Washington. This is the mortal, death blow the Islamic Jehadists plan to strike us with, and they have the bombs, it is reported, enough to crush us as a nation, when they detonate them simultaneously. They are, it is reported, just waiting for the call to set them off.

We all saw how ineffectual the U.S. Federal Government is in the midst of a national emergency such as Hurricane Katrina's assault on the coast and its aftermath. The Federal Government was far more efficient at the turn of the century, when San Francisco was destroyed by the great earthquake. Help was there in a matter of hours--not days and weeks! This is what Secular Humanism has done to us--our government is set in a kind of concrete, unable to act when it would be most vital for it to do so!

It was CHRISTIAN ministries and churches, Mayor Nagin of
New Orleans, that were first on the site of your destroyed city, pouring out shiploads and truckloads and carloads and helicopter loads of food, water, supplies, even sending rescue operations to pluck people stranded on housetops and at apartments! Did you ever thank any of them for the tremendous help they gave thousands in the city and thousands more outside it? Did you, Mayor Nagin? I never heard you! All I heard out of your lying, thankless mouth was blame for President Bush, whom you hated so much you neglected to call him in to help you when your people were in desperate need for you to do something! We all saw those hundreds of yellow Blue Bird buses setting half under the water in the parking lots. You let them stand there, without even trying to get them going to take the people to safety when you had the time to do it! What a waste! You could have at least saved th buses, by sending them out of the city, even if you didn't care for the lives of the poor people under your care! Are you a lunatic, or what?

Now it seems hopeless at first sight, when secular humanists are in so much control of our society that we are made sitting ducks where our enemies are concerned. What can one person do to stop our arch-enemies from destroying us and our country? Our nation is in such disarray, morally, spiritually, and politically. We cannot even unite to fight the terrorists, who are using Iraq as a base of operations. That base will soon shift to our own streets and malls and cities, as we pull out our troops. The terrorists have said so themselves,
that they are pleased by the prospect of our giving up and pulling out of Iraq, and we know that they will bring the war to us--and then crush us completely with the suitcase bombs!

We must know that our government and military (and certainly not our Congress) cannot protect us (we have seen it in case after case of national emergency). We must turn to God alone. The only hope we have is God--in this time of peril. It seems impossible, however, to be of any influence. This nation is too big, too divided, for one person to affect. How can we help bring a turn-around in America, in our lives, in our relationship to God, that will bring God's forgiveness and His aid in saving us and our country? It just seems altogether impossible! Impossible! The darkness is too great to penetrate or drive back! Right? Do I strike a chord somewhere in somebody who is concerned about this entire situation? National security is just one aspect--it is all connected to our moral and spiritual, backslidden state as a Christian people and a formerly Christian nation.

Actually, let us think soberly, biblically, about this crisis. One person can be a majority, in God's eyes. He doesn't look at crises the way we do--one person who is so little compared to overwhelming numbers and overwhelmingly great circumstances. He is God--He is the Biggest "Component" in the universal equation. With Him, you, or I, have the winning number, not the other eight million entrants in the lottery. Our number with God making divine arithmetic with us: 1 (God who is
Number 1, plus one--you or I). 1 plus 1 is ordinarily just 2 (which will cause no change in this natural world probably), but when the first 1 is God--that is as good as an infinite number on your side! Look at the Bible! It is full of crises where one person, with God as Number 1 in that person's life and prayers, turned entire nations back from destruction and going over the cliff! Deborah, Moses, Gideon, Elijah, David, Daniel...and they weren't considered important, either. They weren't always known, either. Gideon declared he was the least person in a family in a clan that was least in his tribe--but God went to him and called him "mighty champion." If we choose unbelief and distrust of God, we will say, "God you can't save this nation through me--I am too small, too average, too something or other, for You to use!" That is wrong thinking! That will never please God. God delights in using small, average, insignificant people like you and me. Then He gets the glory from what is accomplished through us! He doesn't get much glory through using Nobel Prize Laureates, or Presidents, or big-shots of any kind. He gets tremendous glory, as the Bible states over and over, from using
insignificant vessels such as you and me.

In fact, He PREFERS to use people like you and me! Yes, he prefers to use us over the so-called great people of the world. So let us be willing to obey Him--even if it is a small task in our eyes. A small rudder turns a mighty ocean-liner! It is hidden away underwater, but without it the mighty liner would run out of control and dash itself on the rocks and everything would be destroyed. Let us be the little rudder that turns the mighty ocean-liner of America. Though our prayers, examples, witness of Jesus, and our support of what is our Judaeo-Christian heritage in America, we can turn our doomed ship of state away from disaster. Let no one, particularly our fellow Christians, discourage us in the least. We don't answer for their lives and their decisions to give up in overwhelming situations. We answer only for our own lives and decisions. Let us go on--with God--who is the Majority over every other majority--and so we cannot lose! We cannot lose--no matter what it looks like. We simply cannot lose. The Bible is the testimony, of person after person, mostly insignificant and powerless, who won great victories by simply trusting God and turning to him in every situation of life, great and small. Let us turn to him in the small things now, and then He can use in the great issues too.

Faithfulness to Him will be rewarded. He is that kind of God. If we prove ourselves by obedience to Him, He can use us to go and speak to kings and parliaments and congresses and presidents and generals and terrorist leaders--and they will listen and do what we say they should do! We have that potential in us--if only we will obey now in the small things he has given us to do. We can start today, we can start now. Will you? Will I? It is our individual choice.

SLAVERY CENTER:

Slavery in various forms exists in America, from sea to shining sea, as well! It exists in Moslem Pakistan, in work places where
Christian women are treated cruelly as the lowest animals and slaves by Moslem business owners (you can read about this in Voice of the Martyrs Magazine). It just isn't so blatant in America or even Pakistan and India as it is in Sudan, though the brazen-faced representatives of the government in Khartoum, dressed in their fine Arab robes and sitting in fancy chairs in fine offices and gilt-decorated lounges, are still denying the fact to the whole world. For twenty years the blood-thirsty vampires and jackals of Khartoum's radical Islamic Arab government, have been preying mercilessly upon the defenceless black people in the South, killing two million black Christians primarily, and displacing seven million who fled for their lives into the howling deserts to get away from the raiders, the Moslem mudjajeen. These lying wretches in the Khartoum government (along with their apologists, CAIR, in the U.S.) ought to be dragged out into the street, their fine robes torn off, and then everyone come and spit on them until they drown in spittle! That would be mercy, compared to what they will get in eternity from the judging angels of God! All this has gone on with the hypocritical delegates of the United Nations looking loftily the other way, so as not to offend the
rich, privileged Moslem Arab rulers of the Sudan. With well-known evangelical Christian ministries deeply involved (Franklin Graham of Good Samaritan's Purse, Rod Parsley and World Harvest Church, and others), the Christian-hating, secularist human rights organizations have been forced to start paying a modicum of attention to the
outright genocide going on in South Sudan. These pathetic, hypocritical organizations give out a measely figure like "100,000" killed, but the real figure is 2 million, according to Rod Parsley who has been active in the South Sudan relief work for 20 years! Even the morally defunct, incurably corrupt United Nations was forced to
speak a word about the plight of millions in South Sudan, and a peace conference was held in which the North (the Moslem Arab government of Khartoum) agreed to a cease-fire with the insurgents in the South trying to protect that area from the North's slave-raiders and killers and rapists (who were given government helicopters, guns, bombs, anything they needed). The rulers of Sudan need to be arraigned and brought to justice for their crimes of genocide. Until that can be done, the Khartoum killers need to be forced to comply with the agreement they signed. Simon Deng, now a U.S. citizen, formerly enslaved by the Moslem Arabs of the
North, represents his South Sudan people still oppressed and suffering from the Moslem Arabs. He said his black skin was the reason the Arabs of the north persecute his people. The Arabs regard the black-skinned southerners as slaves and property simply because of their black color. Because they despise the southern tribes' black color, the educated, rich, hoity-toity yellow-skinned Moslem Arabs of the north think they have the right and reason to do anything they like with them and against them--because slaves have no rights whatsoever in Moslem A,rab culture. This is Simon Deng's testimony, which you can access at the Rod Parsley/World Harvest, Columbus, Ohio church and website. On the Rod Parsley broadcast there was also a picture of Agor Deng, a young black woman who had been enslaved by the Moslem Arabs and gang-raped repeatedly by her
Moslem master and his ghoulish friends. She was made to say Moslem prayers, though she is a Christian. She represents untold thousands of black Christian girls and women who have been enslaved, gang-raped, and made to convert to Islam. This is the same "enlightened" and "peace-loving" Islam that is championed by the mullahs in America--it hasn't yet shown us its true colors and is trying to deceive us until we are under Islamic control. The massacred, enslaved, tortured, starved, displaced black Christians of South Sudan and Darfur know the true nature of Islam. That is why there is such a turning to the Lord Jesus Christ by
the black people of Islam--they can see a total difference between Islam and what Jesus Christ is. Why would they want to choose an enslaving, torturing, murdering, lying, raping devil to worship when they can have Jesus Christ, who came to set men free?

For a mere 45 dollars the ministry of Breakthrough will buy the freedom of an slaved man, woman, or child--usually a black Christian since most of the slaves are Christians, I believe--in southern Sudan from Moslem slave holders, and set the person free, along with a month's supply of food. That will hardly be enough to fill an American SUV's gas tank once! Send $45 to Breakthrough and a human being--a daddy, a mommy, a grandmother, or a little girl, a young woman, or a boy, or a young man--can be set free from unspeakable suffering, starvation, work that can kill a horse, and rape and mutilation and torture and horrible fears and loneliness having to sleep with animals or out in the snake-infested, open country where the wild beasts roam at night! Think about your own circumstances, and how $45 will not be missed a few days from now, but will make all the difference in the world to a precious human being just across the world in South Sudan! I don't have any money to throw away, and I did it! IF A BROKEN-DOWN, OLD SECURITY GUARD WITH A 97 YEAR OLD MOTHER CAN DO IT, YOU ALL CAN DO IT. YOU ALL HAVE NO EXCUSE IF YOU PASS THIS BY AND LEAVE IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE. SORRY, BUT THIS HAS TO BE DIRECT, OR YOU WILL JUST PASS BY LIKE THE PEOPLE PASSED BY A MAN ROBBED AND BEATEN AND LEFT BLEEDING ON THE GROUND BY ON THE JORDAN ROAD, WHOM JESUS TOLD ABOUT. RELIGIOUS MEN SAW HIM, AND PASSED BY! IS ONE OF THOSE SELFISH HYPOCRITES WEARING YOUR FACE, FRIEND? STATISTICS SAY IT IS, THAT ONLY A FRACTION OF CHRISTIANS GIVE ANYTHING, MUCH LESS TITHE! SHOW SOME COMPASSION FOR THE SUFFERING PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD IN A REAL WAY. YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD FOR GOOD RIGHT NOW BY GOING TO BREAKTHROUGH. YOU AND I CAN GET TOGETHER IN HEAVEN AND CELEBRATE WITH THE ONES WE HELPED SET FREE--WHAT A JOYOUS TIME THAT WILL BE--ALL BECAUSE WE CARED ENOUGH AS CHRISTIANS TO REACH OUT TO THE SUFFERING PEOPLE OF SOUTH SUDAN WHEN WE HAD THE MEANS TO DO SO! DON'T MISS IT!

INFANTICIDE IN AMERICA CENTER:

We are paying a stiff price already in murder and mayhem, fellow Americans! Thirty people just now slaughtered a few hours ago like Arkansas chickens at Virginia Tech by a gunman! We are safe nowhere in America, thanks to our abortion (mass, genocidal murder) of helpless, innocent human babies in the womb.

THE RESURRECTION IS HISTORICALLY ESTABLISHED FACT, NOT RELIGIOUS WHIMSY OR SOMEBODY'S RELIGIOUS HOAX--"BUNK" AND "PROPAGANDA"--TERMS USED BY ONE FELLOW AMERICAN CALLING IN TO A RADIO PROGRAM WHO HAS A FAMILY HE IS TEACHING HIS STUPIDITY AND ATHEISM TO, WHILE THINKING IT IS GOOD SENSE AND TOLERANCE ON HIS PART. DOES HE KNOW HE IS ROBBING HIS CHILDREN OF ANY REAL HOPE IN LIFE? OR THAT THEY FACE GOING INTO A CHRISTLESS ETERNITY AFTER LIVING A CHRISTLESS LIFE? WHAT POSSIBLE MEANING WILL THEIR LIVES HAVE? THANK GOD FOR THE RESURRECTION: WE HAVE A REAL, LIVING SAVIOR AND LORD, WHO ROSE FROM THE GRAVE, AND WHO LIVES AND REIGNS FOREVER, GIVING OUR LIVES MEANING THAT WILL NEVER FADE AWAY BUT WILL LAST FOREVER AS WE ENJOY ETERNITY WITHIN HIS KINGDOM OF LOVE AND FELLOWSHIP.

Big Bad Business Center:

Businesses that care nothing for morality (attacking traditional morality by supporting radical activist gay rights agendas), that care nothing for America (selling their most sensitive technnology to our enemies, even flouting our laws), that care nothing for America's working people despite the fact their revenues come primarily from America, that exploit overseas poor people by paying them 30 cents a day or a dollar to work like a slave, that close down profitable companies in the U.S. and set them up in countries where they can pollute all they please and pay the lowest wages and without any benefits whatsoever, even without
safety provisions for the workers--these businesses are bad business for America--and they abound. How many companies are operating in the way they should? Is there any
survey of them, so that we know and can do something about them? Fortunately, we do know something about some of them. Shell Oil Company, for example, a British-Dutch mega-corporation, with its tentacles all over the globe, is not American but does business here too--and it is one of the worst polluters and abusers of mankind imaginable. It has produced much loss of life in West Africa, along with pollution--all for profit, of course. Meanwhile, the shareholders enjoy the profits and the big managers and
directors their millionaire's lifestyle of the rich and famous while the poor and oppressed people of West Africa suffer unspeakably because of this big bad business's policies. The company ought to be tried at the Hague International Court of Justic, or
at some other court, where they can be exposed for what they are before the whole world.

Even if the world's rulers look away, God sees. Shell Oil and its
directors and its shareholders will not escape judgement. Neither will Ford Motor Company, or United, or IBM, or WalMart, or any other company that forgets God and morality and the Golden Rule.

After hundreds of hours of prayer meetings at my local church (where but a handful would show up, with all the others off "doing their own thing" while we worked for them interceeding) I have no illusions about the subject, I realize that this center will be the least visited, if it is visited at all. I know this because this is the pattern that is dooming contemporary, post-modern American society and the church as well. Popular Christianity is going its own way, without prayer--doing its own thing too, and loving it, while the nation and the youth and the whole society goes to hell in a handbasket, to use an old phrase. Of course, most people don't believe in hell and the Devil and divine judgment for their actions anymore! But I do! And the Bible says these things exist. I choose to believe the Bible, not forty million mules stampeding over the cliff while thinking it is a big, broad highway to happiness. Why pray? Because my own life depends on it. Because my country depends on it. Because the church depends on it. Because everything good depends on it. Because it is as necessary, and even more necessary, than the air we breathe. We shall see how people end up without prayer. I don't care to risk their fate. Prayer has so many wonderful things in store for me, if I continue. I cannot number them all. I thank God for prayer. I could not live, physically and spiritually, without it. Prayer is a wonderful, wonderful thing God has given us, that will
bring all sorts of blessings and also help us and gain protection for us on our pilgrimage to heaven. Thank God for prayer! Even if I am the only one left praying--I will gladly pray. It has proved itself countless times to me, how valuable it is.

PRAYER TARGET CENTER:

A Mini-Review of McTernan's book:

Ever wondered if there is a connection between our awful bad weather and the many disasters our country has suffered these last ten years or so and the way we are doing things in this country? Well, John P. McTernan draws a direct causal link between the disasters (weather, fires, hurricanes, terroristic, etc) and America's
mistreatment of Israel, forcing Israel to give up land for "peace," the most ridiculous thing our State Department and our last three or four presidents have devised and inflicted on this faithful ally and friend of America.

George Bush Sr.'s millionaire's resort house at Kennebunkport, Maine, was virtually destroyed by a hurricane the very day he was forcing Israel to sign the first land for peace agreement at Madrid! After the Madrid conference, he flew back to the U.S. and went to view the shambles of his once beautiful, sea-side villa. What did he think when he was looking at it? Was he asking God why? Why this should happen to him? Was he at all wondering what God may have wanted to be telling him about his present actions? These are some of the questions I have to ask--and wonder why he wasn't asking them? Obviously, he was not asking them, as his son went on to promote the same disastrous policies of the father,
forcing Israel to the giving up of more Covenanted land to the terrorists
"for peace."

IT'S IN THE BIBLE, JOHNNY AND SUZY: Most people may not know that many of the stock phrases they use in everyday conversation come from the Bible. Here are just a few of them: "In the twinkling of an eye" (I Cor. 15:52). "Den of Thieves" (Matt. 21:13) "Keep the faith" (2Tim 4:7) "A stone's throw" (Luke 22:41) "Old wives' tales" (1Tim. 4:7) "Drop in the bucket" ((Isa. 40:15) "Apple of his eye" (Deut. 32:10) "No rest for the wicked" (Isa. 46:22). --Rev. Jerome Porkorny in Catholic Quote

As a Postscript to Rev. Porkonry's quote, I just heard a radio commentator on her show describe the recent passing of a "domestic partners" or same-sex marriage legalization bill in our Washington State legislature as a "thorn in the flesh" for evangelicals, something she delighted in, she made it very clear. Did she know that she was using a Biblical phrase? That is rather ironical, in my view, and shows she doesn't know that a thorn used against others can turn upon the oppressor even more savagely. The piece of stinking garbage, the bill she is so happy about, legalizing what God calls an abomination, will, I can assure her, turn out to be a thorn in HER presently gloating flesh--if she does not give up her snotty attitude about God, morality, and Christians, and repent.

We aim to be based on the Bible and Christ and faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, Who paid for our salvation by his shedding of his blood as our Substitute, Holy, Innocent Lamb, shedding his blood on the Cross. He rose again from the grave, he was resurrected, three days later after descending into Hades and preaching His victory over sin, death, and the Devil to the saints in Abraham's Bosom, as well as the captive sinners in the hot hell-part of Hades there. That is the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ, crucified for us. This site does not accept any other funding, for it is a free site offered freely with no strings attached to the viewer or to anyone else except the Lord.
